Anyone ever built a Carving Duplicator?

[Teri McCarter]

I saw where someone is selling plans on Ebay and it looked pretty neat. Has anyone made one or made the one off Ebay? If so, how well do they work?
Thanks,
Teri

No, but I am supposed to build one for a feiend. I have not seen the plans but that sounds interesting.

Bill Hylton has one in his book "Router Magic" that looks really good. I would have built it long ago, but the carriage is designed to float on the output air from a shop vac. My shop vac puts out air around the head, so it won't work. Now that I have a compressor, I might try it one day.

Buy Bill's book and you support a great guy, get detailed plans, and get lots more ideas/plans/fixtures for routers. I have no connection to Bill, but I love his stuff.

Get William Schnute's book on High Relief Woodcarving. It has plans on a duplictator. Best I've seen and I've seen many others. Very adaptable.
